Summary: The Neon Python SDK (neon-api, installable via pip) wraps the Neon REST API and exposes methods for creating, updating, and deleting projects, branches, databases, endpoints, roles, API keys, and organizations from Python code. Use it when you need to automate Neon platform operations in Python scripts or applications without constructing raw HTTP requests against the Neon API.

Neon supports the neon-api - Python client for the Neon API, a wrapper for the Neon API. This SDK simplifies integration of Python applications with the Neon platform, providing methods to programmatically manage API keys, Neon projects, branches, databases, endpoints, roles, and operations.

Warning: Compatibility limits in version 0.3.0

The published Python SDK does not yet support all Neon API routes. Use the Neon REST API or Neon TypeScript SDK for the operations below.

The current API contract doesn't document compatibility aliases for the outdated requests.

Tip: AI assistant support

Neon's Agent Skills give AI coding assistants context about the Neon Python SDK for managing resources programmatically and other Neon features. Install them for more accurate code suggestions.

Installation of neon_api is easy, with pip:

$ pip install neon-api

from neon_api import NeonAPI

# Initialize the client.
neon = NeonAPI(api_key='your_api_key')

Documentation for the neon-api - Python SDK, including a Quickstart, can be found on Read the Docs. See neon-api: Python client for the Neon API.

The following list describes the methods exposed by the published Python package. The compatibility warning above identifies methods whose requests don't match the current API contract.

• me(): Returns the current user.
• current_user_organizations(): Returns the current user's organizations.

• api_keys(): Returns a list of API keys.
• api_key_create(**json): Creates an API key.
• api_key_delete(key_id): Deletes a given API key.

All Neon accounts are organization-based. To list projects, first retrieve the user's organization with current_user_organizations(), then pass org_id:

orgs = neon.current_user_organizations()
org_id = orgs[0].id
projects = neon.projects(org_id=org_id)

• projects(org_id=None): Returns a list of projects. Pass org_id to list projects within an organization.
• project(project_id): Returns a specific project.
• project_create(project_id, **json): Creates a new project.
• project_update(project_id, **json): Updates a given project.
• project_delete(project_id): Deletes a given project.
• project_permissions(project_id): Returns a list of permissions for a given project.
• project_permissions_grant(project_id, **json): Grants permissions to a given project.
• project_permissions_revoke(project_id, **json): Revokes permissions from a given project.
• connection_uri(project_id, database_name, role_name): Returns the connection string for a given project.

• branches(project_id): Returns a list of branches for a given project.
• branch(project_id, branch_id): Returns a specific branch.
• branch_create(project_id, **json): Creates a new branch. Branch names are optional (defaults to branch ID if not specified). If provided, names must be unique within the project, can be up to 256 characters, and cannot be empty or only whitespace. See Branch naming requirements.
• branch_update(project_id, branch_id, **json): Updates a given branch.
• branch_delete(project_id, branch_id): Deletes a given branch.
• branch_set_as_primary(project_id, branch_id): Sets a given branch as primary.

• databases(project_id, branch_id): Returns a list of databases for a given project and branch.
• database(project_id, branch_id, database_id): Returns a specific database.
• database_create(project_id, branch_id, **json): Creates a new database.
• database_update(project_id, branch_id, **json): Updates a given database.
• database_delete(project_id, branch_id, database_id): Deletes a given database.

• endpoints(project_id, branch_id): Returns a list of endpoints for a given project and branch.
• endpoint_create(project_id, branch_id, **json): Creates a new endpoint.
• endpoint_update(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id, **json): Updates a given endpoint.
• endpoint_delete(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id): Deletes a given endpoint.
• endpoint_start(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id): Starts a given endpoint.
• endpoint_suspend(project_id, branch_id, endpoint_id): Suspends a given endpoint.

• role_password_reveal(project_id, branch_id, role_name): Reveals the password for a given role.
• role_password_reset(project_id, branch_id, role_name): Resets the password for a given role.

• organization(org_id): Returns details for a specific organization.

• operations(project_id): Returns a list of operations for a given project.
• operation(project_id, operation_id): Returns a specific operation.
